Failed to return from the Baedeker raid on York.
The aircraft had not released its bombs on York on its first pass and had attempted to go around again to line up a target. By this time a number of scrambled fighters had arrived and one, from 253 Squadron based at Hibaldstow, Lincolnshire and piloted by Frenchman W/O Yves Mahe FFAF flying Hurricane BN292. Mahe attacked the Ju 88 and damaged the starboard engine but the aircraft must also have been struck elsewhere as a photograph of the tail of the crashed aircraft shows damage of the attack. The Ju 88 went into a steep dive and while the pilot ordered his crew to bale out he was unable to get out in time and he was killed in the resulting crash at around 03.00hrs near Crockey Hill to the south of York.
